FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating photograph capturing the essence of maritime trade and the connection between South Africa and the Mother Country during the 1930s. In this image, a Union Castle Company ocean liner is docked at Cape Town, South Africa, preparing for its homeward journey to England. The quay is bustling with activity as the liner is loaded with an abundance of fruits, symbolizing the fertility and richness of the African land. The quayside is a hive of activity, with workers and cranes busy at work, winching and loading cargo aboard the majestic vessel. The Union Castle Company liner, with its elegant curves and tall smokestacks, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Table Bay, its sails unfurled, ready to catch the wind and set sail. A tugboat is stationed nearby, its powerful engine ready to assist the liner in its departure from the harbor. The dockworkers, dressed in their uniforms, move with purpose and efficiency, ensuring that every last piece of cargo is securely stowed away before the liner sets sail on its long journey across the Atlantic. The photograph is a testament to the importance of maritime trade during this era, with South Africa's valuable produce making its way to the Mother Country to be sold and traded. The image is a snapshot of history, capturing the spirit of adventure, industry, and connection that defined the maritime world of the 1930s. The Union Castle Company, a prominent player in the shipping industry, played a significant role in facilitating trade between South Africa and Europe, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the vibrant and bustling world of maritime commerce during this period.
